Explanatory Note

(the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) on Form 10-K/A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (the “2008 Form 10-K”) solely for the purpose of correcting the following: the Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, the Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and the Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed as Exhibit 23.1 to the 2008 Form 10-K. The body of the two reports and the consent inadvertently referenced June 11, 2008 as the report date. The correct report date for each of the two reports and the consent is June 12, 2008.

Information not affected by the changes described above is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the original filing of the 2008 Form 10-K on June 12, 2008. Accordingly, this Amendment No.1 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the Securities Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the 2008 Form 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.

PART II

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008 in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our filings under the Exchange Act.

b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined by rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

	(i)		pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

	(ii)		provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

	(iii)		provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect of the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of the assessment with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Based on such assessment, management determined that, at March 31, 2008, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C., the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, has issued a report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. The report is included below in this Item under the heading “Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Matrixx Initiatives, Inc.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2008 of the Company and our report dated June 12, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2008, three months ended March 31, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Gum Tech International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Utah on February 4, 1991 to develop, market and distribute specialty chewing gum products for branded and private label customers, as well as products marketed under the Company’s brand. The Company sold its gum operations in July 2001. On June 18, 2002, the Company completed its previously announced plans to reincorporate in Delaware and change its name to Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. (“Matrixx” or the “Company”). The reincorporation and name change were effectuated through a merger of the Company (then Gum Tech International, Inc.) with and into its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. The timing of the merger (including the resulting reincorporation and name change) immediately followed the receipt of approval of the Company’s shareholders at its regularly scheduled annual meeting held on such date. The authorized capital stock of Matrixx consists of (i) 30,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, (“common stock”), and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value. Upon the effectiveness of the merger, each share of Gum Tech International, Inc. common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the merger was extinguished and converted into one issued and outstanding share of Matrixx common stock. All dollar amounts have been retroactively restated for the change in the capital structure.

The Company’s sole business segment in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, three-month transition period ended March 31, 2007, and calendar years 2006 and 2005, was developing, marketing and selling over the counter products with an emphasis on those that utilize unique or novel delivery systems through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Zicam, LLC. During 2005, we formed Zicam Swab Products, LLC (ZSP) to purchase the dry handle swab technology from a third party. During 2006, we formed Matrixx Oral Care, LLC (MOC), subsequently renamed Zicare, LLC (Zicare), to pursue development of an over-the-counter oral care product. In May 2008, we formed Zicam Canada, Inc. to commercialize sales of Zicam products in Canada.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zicam, ZSP, and Zicare. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Change of Fiscal Year

Because of the extreme seasonality in the Company’s business, on February 9, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31 in order to better align the Company’s operations and financial results with the entire cold season. The three month period ended March 31, 2007 was the Company’s transition period and the Company’s new fiscal year began April 1, 2007 and ended March 31, 2008. All comparative presentations for the three-months ended March 31, 2006 are unaudited.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash deposits in each institution are insured in limited amounts by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable; however, changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, current market trends and, for larger accounts, the ability to pay outstanding balances. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually and collectively. In addition, the Company maintains a reserve for all invoices by applying a percentage based on historical trends. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. During fiscal 2008, we determined that our allowance for bad debt exceeded the amount of loss

MATRIXX INITIATIVES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

that would likely be incurred and we reduced the allowance amount by approximately $250,000, which reduced selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses by an equal amount.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out pricing method.

Property and Equipment

Depreciation of the primary asset classifications is calculated based on the following estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.


Classification	Useful Life in Years
Machine tooling and manufacturing equipment		3-7
Office furniture and computer equipment		3-5
Laboratory equipment and furniture		3-5
Leasehold improvements		2-5

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 depreciation of property and equipment was $1,075,299. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, depreciation of property and equipment charged to selling, general and administrative expenses was $491,520, $138,429, $630,599, and $345,761, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of the recoverability is performed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the estimated undiscounted net future cash flows. A forecast showing lack of long-term profitability, a significant decline in market share, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses are conditions, among others, that would trigger an impairment assessment of the carrying amount of enterprise goodwill.

Upon indication that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss by a charge against current operations. If an impairment exists, an impairment charge would be determined by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the applicable estimated future cash flows, discounted at a risk-adjusted rate or market appraisals. In addition, the remaining amortization period for the impaired asset would be reassessed and revised if necessary.

Intangible Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment using the fair value methodology. The Company completed its annual assessment in the quarter ended September 30, 2007. There were no impairments recorded in any period presented.

The original Cold Remedy patent is being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the patent at the date of purchase of 16.75 years. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the Company’s Cold Remedy patent is $67,081 on an annual basis for each of the next five years. Amortization expense for the Cold Remedy patent was $67,081 for the year ended March 31, 2008; $16,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006; and, $67,081 for each of the years ended December, 31, 2006 and 2005. The patent acquired on October 31, 2005 related to the Zicam Cold Remedy dry handle swab products is being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the patent, which, at the date of purchase was 14.88 years. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the Zicam Cold Remedy dry handle swab patent is $76,200 on an annual basis for each of the next five years. Amortization expense was $69,588 for the year ended March 31, 2008, $15,743 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and $62,971 and $10,495 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

MATRIXX INITIATIVES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company recorded $8,748 in calendar 2006 for debt issuance costs related to the $500,000 letter of credit associated with the product liability insurance policy that began in April 2006. The Company recorded $23,327 in 2005 for debt issuance costs related to the $5.0 million letter of credit established for the self-structured product liability insurance policy that began in April 2004. These costs are amortized over one year. The Company amortizes the debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s Comerica Bank credit facility over the term of the facility. Debt issuance costs of $14,395 were recorded in fiscal 2008 for the renewal of the credit facility with a term through June 30, 2009. The Company recorded $12,569 in amortization expense during the year ended March 31, 2008, $7,832 in the three months ended March 31, 2007, and $31,893 in calendar year 2006 for amortization of expenses related to the Company’s Comerica Bank credit facility. The Company recorded $31,287 in 2005 for amortization of expenses related to the letter of credit and the credit facility.

Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life and, therefore, it is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually. There was no impairment recorded in the year ended March 31, 2008, three months ended March 31, 2007, or in calendar years 2006 or 2005.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Transfer of risks and rewards is considered to have occurred upon shipment of the finished product. Sales incentives, promotional allowances and returns are estimated and recognized as a reduction from revenue at the date of shipment based upon historical activity and current agreements with customers. The Company evaluates these estimates on a monthly basis and revises them as necessary.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”,and supersedes Accounting Principles Boards Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to measure the cost of services received in exchange for equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with that cost recognized to expense over the requisite service or vesting period. SFAS No. 123R allows for the use of the Black-Scholes or a lattice option-pricing model to value such equity instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in valuing such equity instruments. Upon adoption, the Company transitioned to SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Application (MPA) transition method, whereby compensation cost is recognized for new awards and awards modified after the effective date, and to that portion of outstanding awards for which part or all of the requisite service will be rendered on or after the effective date. Prior periods’ stock-based compensation for option plan activity is still presented on a pro forma basis. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, in calendar year 2006 the Company recognized pre-tax charges of $150,800 as compensation expense, approximately $93,000 after tax, related to unvested options as of January 1, 2006. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company recognized pre-tax charges of $17,700 and $55,000, respectively, approximately $11,000 and $34,000 after tax, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized pre-tax charges of $16,000, approximately $9,800 after tax. The earnings per share impact in all of those periods was immaterial. The Company does not expect to recognize any additional charges in association with stock options as the Company anticipates future equity compensation will be in the form of restricted stock grants instead of options. These charges do not affect the Company’s cash position.

On February 7, 2005, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved a new executive stock ownership requirement and approved the immediate vesting of all outstanding stock options previously granted under the Company’s option plans, including those granted to executive officers and directors, for which the option exercise price was above the closing price on February 7, 2005.

The following table details the effect on net income and earnings per share as if compensation expense had been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005 based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123. The reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and year ended December 31, 2006 is the same since share-based compensation expense is calculated under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.

Risk-free interest rate		3.66	%
Expected life	5.00 years

The Company has granted restricted stock to directors, officers, and management employees as part of its overall compensation plan. Compensation expense is based on the fair value of the shares on the date of their grant (as determined by the closing stock price on the grant date), and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the year ended March 31, 2008, for restricted stock awards previously granted, was approximately $1.2 million, or $750,000 after tax. During the three-month transition period ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $281,900, or approximately $173,000 after tax, for compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. During the year ended December 31, 2006 compensation expense for restricted stock awards was approximately $736,000. Also, during the year ended March 31, 2008, 4,544 shares of restricted stock were issued to two directors, in lieu of cash, under the Directors Restricted Stock Purchase Program for quarterly director compensation.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are excluded from net income (loss). Such items consist primarily of unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities and foreign translation gains and losses. The Company has not had any such items in the prior three years and, consequently, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are the same.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax laws and rates for the years when the differences are expected to reverse.

MATRIXX INITIATIVES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Marketing and Advertising

The Company expenses marketing and advertising costs as incurred. Marketing expense was: $29,123,368 and $29,854,733 for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively; $5,014,921 and $6,698,927 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively; and $31,538,778 and $25,002,100 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method.

The schedule below summarizes the elements included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the year ended March 31, 2008, three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Options, warrants and other incremental shares to purchase 177,000, 232,000, and 264,752 shares of common stock at March 31, 2008 and 2007, and December 31, 2005, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The shares were anti-dilutive because the share exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common stock during the period. There were no anti-dilutive shares at December 31, 2006 or March 31, 2006.

Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”(FIN 48), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The interpretation applies to tax positions within the scope of SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.Interpretation 48 is a two-step process for recognition and evaluation of uncertain tax positions. It requires the Company to assess whether a tax position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained based on its technical merits and then to determine the amount of the tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company implemented FIN 48 beginning January 1, 2007. Adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our earnings,

MATRIXX INITIATIVES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

financial position, or cash flows. As of March 31, 2008, the Company believes that all of its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained based on their technical merits.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”(SFAS 157), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. The Company has adopted SFAS 157 as of April 1, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements in determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006, and its adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The FASB issued SFAS 159 to mitigate earnings volatility that arises when financial assets and liabilities are measured differently, and to expand the use of fair value measurement for financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159 beginning April 1, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on our earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business CombinationsStatement 141R,” a replacement of SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and applies to all business combinations. SFAS 141R provides that, upon initially obtaining control, an acquirer shall recognize 100% of the fair values of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities, with only limited exceptions, even if the acquirer has not acquired 100% of its target. Additionally, SFAS 141R changes current practice, in part, as follows: (1) contingent consideration arrangements will be fairly valued at the acquisition date and included on that basis in the purchase price consideration; (2) transaction costs will be expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized as part of the purchase price; (3) pre-acquisition contingencies, such as legal issues, will generally have to be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value; and (4) in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting, the requirements in SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” would have to be met at the acquisition date. While there is no expected impact to our consolidated financial statements on the accounting for acquisitions completed prior to April 1, 2009, the adoption of SFAS 141R on April 1, 2009 could materially change the accounting for business combinations consummated subsequent to that date.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which modifies and expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation and requires quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts and gains and losses on derivative instruments. It also requires disclosures about credit-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

The line also contains various financial covenants regarding liquidity, tangible net worth, and other financial ratios. Also, the Company cannot incur a loss for any two consecutive quarters and the Company cannot incur a loss for any fiscal year. The Company is also restricted from paying dividends without the lender’s consent. We did not have any borrowings under the credit facility during the year ended March 31, 2008, or three months ended March 31, 2007. In July 2006, we borrowed $4 million under the facility to support our working capital requirements in the third calendar quarter of 2006. We repaid the debt in the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company records a valuation allowance for certain temporary differences for which it is more likely than not that it will not receive future tax benefits. The Company assesses its past earnings history and trends, sales backlog and projections of future net income. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not record a valuation allowance.

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax penalties and interest as income taxes in its financial statements. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company did not incur any penalties or interest. At March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

The tax benefits associated with employee exercises of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying dispositions of stock acquired with incentive stock options reduced income taxes currently payable. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the amounts will be realized and has recorded benefits charged to additional paid-in-capital for the year ended March 31, 2008, three months ended March 31, 2007, and the years ended December 31 2006 and 2005 of $231,401, $80,717, $1,077,402, and $80,344, respectively.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had a $1.4 million loss carryforward due to the settlement of the consolidated Arizona litigation in 2006. The Company exhausted this carryforward in fiscal year 2008.

6. Preferred Stock

The authorized preferred stock of the Company consists of 2,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value. The preferred stock may be issued in separate series from time to time as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine by resolution, unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable statutes require shareholder approval. The rights, preferences and limitations of each series of preferred stock may differ, including without limitation, the rate of dividends, method and nature of payment of dividends, terms of redemption, amounts payable on liquidation, sinking fund provisions (if any), conversion rights (if any), and voting rights.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Plan

In April 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a Common Stock Repurchase Program for up to 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. During fiscal 2008, the Company purchased 493,969 shares of common stock on the open market at an aggregate cost of $7,148,245. In addition, the Company repurchased 22,432 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $315,148, from employees and directors to satisfy tax withholding requirements associated with vested restricted stock. No common stock was repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2007 or the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Shareholder Rights Plan

In July 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan in the form of a Rights Agreement dated as of July 22, 2002 by and between the Company and Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”). On July 12, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was paid on July 22, 2002 to the Company’s stockholders of record on that date. The Rights also apply to, and will be issued in the same proportion in connection with, all future common stock issuances until the Distribution Date (defined below) or the expiration or earlier redemption or exchange of the Rights. Each Right permits the registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company, at any time after the Distribution Date, one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $50.79 per such one one-thousandth of a share, subject to certain possible adjustments provided for in the Rights Agreement. The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the issuance of up to 20,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock upon the exercise of Rights.

Initially the Rights will be attached to all certificates representing shares of common stock then outstanding, and no separate Rights certificates will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the common stock upon the earlier

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

to occur of (i) 10 days after the public announcement of a person’s or group of affiliated or associated persons having acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common stock (such person or group being an “Acquiring Person”), or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Company’s Board may determine) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer for the common stock, the consummation of which would result in a person or group’s becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being the “Distribution Date”). The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. If any person (or group of persons) becomes an Acquiring Person, except in a tender or exchange offer which is for all outstanding common stock at a price and on terms which a majority of the Company’s Board determines to be adequate and in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and other relevant constituencies (other than such Acquiring Person, its affiliates and associates), each holder of a Right will thereafter be entitled to acquire, for each Right so held, one share of common stock for a purchase price equal to 50% of the then current market price for such share of common stock. All Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person or any affiliate or associate thereof will be null and void and not exercisable. The Rights expire on July 22, 2012 provided that, prior to a person (or group of persons) becoming an Acquiring Person, the Company may redeem the Rights for $0.01 per Right. All of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended before the Distribution Date by the Board of Directors of the Company for any reason it deems appropriate. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board in order to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interest of Rights (excluding the interest of any Acquiring Person) or, subject to certain limitations, to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement.

Directors Restricted Stock Purchase Program

In 2002, the Company established a Director Restricted Stock Purchase Program (the “Program”). Under the Program the number of shares to which the Director will be entitled is equal to the cash portion of compensation payable to him/her for Directors fees by the Company that he/she wishes to apply to the purchase of shares under the Program divided by 80% of the closing price of the Company’s stock price on the date the cash consideration would be paid. Shares issued under the Program are restricted until the first to occur of (i) the expiration of three years from the date the shares are issued, (ii) a change in control of the Company, and (iii) the Director’s death, disability, or mandatory retirement.

8. Stock Options

2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan

In November 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”). The 2001 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, performance based awards, tandem awards and substitute awards. In May 2005, shareholders approved an amendment to the 2001 Plan increasing the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan from 1,000,000 shares to 1,500,000 shares.

The following table contains information on the stock options under the Company’s 2001 Plan for the year ended March 31, 2008. The outstanding options expire from October 2008 to July 2011.

Compensation Expense

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to measure the cost of services received in exchange for equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with the cost recognized over the requisite service or vesting period.

As a result of its adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes compensation expense related to unvested options as of January 1, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized

MATRIXX INITIATIVES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

compensation expense of $150,800, approximately $93,000 after tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense of $17,700, approximately $11,000 after tax, and, $55,000, approximately $34,000 after tax, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense of $16,000, approximately $10,000 after tax. The amounts were calculated in prior periods using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company does not expect to recognize any additional expense in fiscal 2009 relating to the aforementioned stock options.

The Company issues shares of its restricted common stock to employees, pursuant to the Company’s restricted stock program, and the Company records compensation expense for the value of the shares issued over the requisite service period. In early 2005, the Company granted 24,197 shares valued at $259,633, or $10.73 per share, and throughout 2005, the Company granted 4,000 shares of restricted stock, with a value of $46,000. The Company recorded $841,650 in compensation expense for shares of restricted stock to be granted to employees in early 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense of $102,766 and $37,477, respectively, related to its restricted stock program. In fiscal 2008, ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized $664,296 in compensation expense related to its restricted stock program.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases its office facilities under a long-term leasing arrangement. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments at March 31, 2008 under the Company’s operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year:


Year Ending

2010		523,257
2011		537,703
2012		517,374
2013		459,229
Thereafter		115,649

Total Minimum Lease Payments	$	2,569,339

Rental expense charged to operations for the year ended March 31, 2008, three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $329,858, $80,765, $43,833, $136,189, and $147,188, respectively.

Officer Indemnification

Under its organizational documents, the Company’s officers, employees, and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. The Company also has an insurance policy for its directors and officers to insure them against liabilities arising from the performance of their duties required by their positions with the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various product liability claims and other legal proceedings. The Company’s legal expense continues to have a significant impact on the results of operations as the Company defends itself against the various claims.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, litigation expense decreased to approximately $2.5 million (net of $560,000 for insurance reimbursements), compared to $4.1 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007 (net of $1.6 million for insurance reimbursements). For the three-month transition period ended March 31, 2007, litigation expense was approximately $1.0 million, reduced by reimbursement of approximately $1.6 million from our insurance carriers for litigation expense incurred prior to 2006. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,

MATRIXX INITIATIVES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

litigation expense was approximately $6.0 million. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, litigation expense was $6.2 million, reduced by reimbursement of approximately $2.0 million from our principal insurance carrier, resulting in net legal expense of approximately $4.2 million. In addition, net income and earnings per share for fiscal 2005 reflect the recording of approximately $8.5 million to settle the Arizona litigation and to create a reserve for any future payments related to the product liability litigation ($12 million settlement plus $1.3 million for the reserve, less $4.8 million expected to be covered by insurance). Various defendants in the lawsuits, including manufacturers and retailers, have sought indemnification or other recovery from us for damages related to the lawsuits.

Among the principal matters pending to which the Company is a party are the following:

Product Liability

Litigation relating to Zicam Cold Remedy nasal gel arises from claims that the product causes the permanent loss or diminishment of the sense of smell or smell and taste. The Company believes the studies that have been conducted and reviewed by independent medical and scientific experts and other evidence support our contention that these claims are unfounded.

From late 2003 through March 2008, numerous lawsuits were filed against us alleging that our Zicam Cold Remedy product caused the permanent loss or diminishment of the sense of smell or smell and taste. On January 19, 2006, we entered into an agreement to settle claims made by approximately 90% of the plaintiffs (approximately 340 individuals) in all of the Zicam Cold Remedy product liability lawsuits pending against the Company at that time. This settlement related to the Arizona consolidated litigation, In Re Consolidated Zicam Product Liability Cases, Superior Court of Arizona (Maricopa County). The settlement documents acknowledge that Matrixx has denied and continues to deny any liability to the plaintiffs. Those plaintiffs who were eligible and elected to participate in the settlement program dismissed their claims with prejudice and provided written releases of their claims against the Company in return for their participation. Of the plaintiffs who did not participate in the settlement program, all have dismissed their claims as of July 31, 2007. Matrixx paid $11.9 million to fund awards to be made under the settlement program. In addition, Matrixx paid $100,000 to cover the administration of the settlement program by plaintiffs’ counsel. The Company recognized a charge of approximately $4.3 million (after tax) in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cover the portion of the settlement program costs not expected to be covered by insurance.

Additionally, beginning on March 25, 2008, the case Bruno vs. Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. (filed July 7, 2006, in the Superior Court of the Sate of California, County of San Diego, Case No. 868821) was tried before a jury. On April 3, 2008 the jury delivered a unanimous verdict in favor of the Company. The Company cannot predict the timing of any additional trials with respect to the product liability lawsuits. Also, plaintiffs’ law firms may continue to solicit potential claimants through the Internet and other media; as a result, additional lawsuits may be filed against us.

Litigation Reserves

We record accruals for such contingencies to the extent that we conclude their occurrence is probable and the related damages are estimable. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we accrue the minimum of such probable range. Many claims involve highly complex issues relating to causation, label warnings, scientific evidence, actual damages and other matters. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued for these contingencies. Therefore, as of March 31, 2008, the Company maintained a reserve of approximately $1.1 million for any future payment of settlement or losses related to the cold remedy litigation. This reserve was based on certain assumptions some of which are described below, and was the amount that the Company believed that it could reasonably estimate would be spent to resolve the remaining cases that have been filed. Some of the significant factors that were considered in the amount of the reserve were as follows: the actual costs incurred by the Company up to that time in resolving several claims; the development of the Company’s legal defense strategy and structure in light of the recent settlement; and the number of cases that remain pending against the Company. There are events, such as the dismissal of any cases, the outcome of a trial, or rulings on pending evidentiary motions, that may have an impact on the Company’s conclusions as to the adequacy of the reserves for the pending product liability lawsuits. Litigation is

inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts do occur. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in these matters, we could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period. The Company will continue to review the adequacy of the associated reserves on a quarterly basis.

Securities Litigation Matters

Two class action lawsuits were filed in April and May 2004 against the Company, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Carl J. Johnson, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, William J. Hemelt, alleging violations of federal securities laws. On January 18, 2005, the cases were consolidated and the court appointed James V. Sircusano as lead plaintiff. The amended complaint also includes our Vice President of Research and Development, Timothy L. Clarot, as a defendant and was filed March 4, 2005. The consolidated case is Sircusano, et al. vs. Matrixx Initiatives, Inc., et al., in the United States District Court, District of Arizona, Case No. CV04-0886 PHX DKD. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges that between October 2003 and February 2004, we made materially false and misleading statements regarding our Zicam Cold Remedy product, including failing to adequately disclose to the public the details of allegations that our products caused damage to the sense of smell and of certain of the product liability lawsuits described above. We believe the claims made in this lawsuit are without merit and are vigorously defending ourself in this matter. We filed a motion to dismiss this lawsuit and on March 8, 2006, the Company received an Order dated December 15, 2005 granting the motion to dismiss the case, without prejudice. In accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Messrs. Johnson, Hemelt, and Clarot will be indemnified by the Company for their expenses incurred in defending these lawsuits and for any other losses which they may suffer as a result of these lawsuits. The Company has submitted this matter to its insurance carriers and may incur charges up to the deductible amount of $1 million. If any liability were to result from these lawsuits, which is not covered by insurance, we believe our financial results could be materially impacted.

Third-Party Manufacturers

The Company’s third-party manufacturers are subject to reporting, facility inspection, and governmental review. In general, subsequent discovery of previously unrecognized problems or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in restrictions on manufacturing or marketing of the Company’s products, product recalls or withdrawal, fines, seizure of product, as well as withdrawal or suspension of regulatory approvals. The manufacturer of several of our products is in the process of responding to observations made by the FDA during a routine facility inspection. The Company does not know how the conclusions of this review process might impact our products or business, but the review could result, with regard to those products manufactured at the facility, in any or all of the above consequences, including the possibility of a product recall.

10. Employee Benefit Plan

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted a Qualified 401(k) Retirement Account Plan, meeting the Safe Harbor Provisions of the IRS. The Company makes matching contributions relative to each employee’s Salary Reduction Contributions for the year of up to 4% of the employee’s compensation for the Plan year. For the year ended March 31, 2008, three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company made matching contributions of $107,241, $33,128, $24,309, $85,813, and $96,103, respectively. Each employee is fully vested at all times in his or her contribution and the Company’s matching contributions.

11. Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions and limits its credit exposure with any one financial institution. The Company’s cash in its banks exceeds the federally insured limits. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to many of the nation’s top drug stores and mass merchandisers. The Company’s accounts receivable are due from customers located throughout the United States. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses have not exceeded management’s expectations.

The Company’s sales are from products marketed under the Zicam, Nasal Comfort, and Xcid brand names, with a majority of its sales attributable to its Cold Remedy products, which subjects the Company to significant financial exposure. If future sales of these products decrease, and in particular sales of its Cold Remedy products, the Company’s operations could be materially adversely affected.

The Company currently relies on third-party manufacturers to produce its products, and has identified alternative suppliers for some of its products. However, the Company has not made any purchases from these alternative suppliers.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments for the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the table below. These calculations are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant matters of judgment and do not include income tax considerations. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market values and may not be realized in actual sale or settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results. The following table presents a summary of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2008 and 2007:


	March 31, 2008				March 31, 2007
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value
Fiancial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27,932,672	$	27,932,672	$	16,944,189	$	13,947,622
Restricted cash	$	500,000	$	500,000	$	500,000	$	500,000
Financial Liabilities
Long-term debt		—		—		—		—

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
